Current Status for FY18:

Congress continues to pass continuing resolutions to maintain government funding.

There are deep, harmful cuts across the board with the budget proposals already on the table. These include significant cuts to agencies that provide government assistance programs that help families afford the basics.

The House approved all 12 spending appropriation bills. The Senate will need to complete its appropriation bills before they can conference. It is unlikely that the Senate will consider the House bill, partially due to threat of sequestration cuts.

Next Steps:

The Senate needs to finalize and vote on its own spending bill in order to reconcile with the House version that has passed.

MCN continues to partner with federal policy makers to achieve a budget that invests in strong, vibrant communities.
